I’m Having Trouble With a High School Girl I Meet on the Commuter Train Who for Some Reason Has Taken a Liking to Me - Chapter 70

The second day of Comiket has begun.

For the first half of the day, Kaedezaka, Otomizu, and I were in charge of the booth.

Otomizu, wearing Zany’s uniform, murmured as she watched the visitors pass by.

“I guess there are fewer people in the morning.”

We’ve prepared for this, but if we ignore the convenience of the staff, it would cause chaos.

There was no need to rush to take advantage of the situation.

At that moment, a man with a carefree tone addressed us.

“Han~… What a deserted booth.”

The man who appeared was Hariboshi, the flirtatious chief who tried hitting on Kaedezaka a few days earlier.

I believe he was removed from the Comiket team because of his behavior. ……

“What are you doing here?”

Hariboshi approached me arrogantly, and asked me.

“What… you say!? Ha! You’ve ruined my career! Comiket is just for fun!!”

“The visitors are watching us right now. Please calm down.”

“Shut up!”

Hariboshi pushed me roughly and kicked the booth to vent his anger.

At that moment, the fasteners holding up the large sign snapped with a click.

“Oh no!”

Although event booths were built with safety in mind, they were by no means sturdy.

If it was kicked with all one’s might, it would break, and in some cases, it would fall over.

I rushed over to the sign and prevented it from falling.

“Grrr!!”

The broken fastener also served as a connection between the signboard and the pillar.

So I had to hold the large sign with one hand while supporting the unstable pillar with the other.

If I could not support it, the booth itself would collapse.

If that were to happen, not only would Zany’s image be damaged, but at worst, people would be injured.

“Otomizu, go get Oya-san! Kaedezaka, get rid of people so that there is no danger to visitors!”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

Damn it …

I’m just barely holding it up, it’s really hard when I’m alone.

Then Hariboshi, who was nearby, nervously raised his voice.

“I…I… I didn’t do anything! It’s your fault for building this booth!”

“If you’ve got time to talk, Come and help me!”

“Hiii!! U…… understood!”

After being scolded by me, Hariboshi propped up the sign, forgetting that his magnificent suit was getting dirty.

Alone it was tough, but with two people supporting it, it was manageable.

Soon after, the construction company’s foreman arrived.

“Oh! Sorry to keep you waiting, Sasamiya! Damn! You’re giving me more work!”

“Sorry, Oya-san.”

“I heard what happened! Be patient a little longer!”

From there, it was quick.

He quickly replaced the broken parts and reinforced them.

Within minutes, the booth was back to its original condition.

“Yosh, All good. Good grief! How hard did you kick it!? Che!”

“Thank you, Oya-san.”

Anyway, I was glad that Booth did not collapse.

As for Hariboshi, the source of the problem, he was trying to sneak away from the scene.

“”

Just as I was about to grab him, another person grabbed Hariboshi’s shoulder.

“Hey, you there!”

“Hiii!”

“We’re from the management. We’d like to ask you to come to our office.”

“N…Not me! It was not me! I’m…I’m…!”

One wrong move and people would have been injured.

It was not a matter of just apologizing.

As expected, Hariboshi would now reflect on his actions.

◆◆◆◆◆

The commotion caused by Hariboshi had subsided, but there were still problems. ….

“The commotion earlier has caused even more visitors to stop coming. We have to take action immediately. …”

“What should we do?”

Otomizu asked me anxiously, and I calmly responded.

“Otomizu, Kaedezaka. Please cosplay.”

“”EH!?””

The two were taken aback and their voices overlapped.

“The day before yesterday, Otomizu said that we should invite people to cosplay, right? So, just in case, I talked to the management and asked for permission.”

“Um~, what are you going to do about the costumes?”

“I prepared it for you.”

With that, I pulled out a cosplay maid outfit from a storage box in the back of the booth.

“How’s it look, isn’t it cute? Yesterday, after Comiket was over, I asked a vendor I know to rent it for me.”

“Aren’t you acting too fast!? And a gothic lolita maid outfit!?”

“And she’s got fox ears and a fox tail, too.”

“No way an optional set!!”

“We have three sizes to choose from.”

“It’s perfect!!”

By the way, the gothic-lolita maid with fox ears was an old character from Zany.

This would attract the attention of visitors.

Then Kaedezaka murmured with a surprised expression.

“I had heard that Sasamiya-san was good at attracting trouble, but it turns out to be true.”

“It’s a job you are working very hard for. We can’t afford to fail.”

“Na~…! I won’t be charmed if you talk to me like that.”

Kaedezaka turned away with a pout and headed for the waiting room with her maid uniform.

That girl …, why was she mad?
